A Tins is a cheap one wooden boxto storageof fruits. The boxes are characterized by good stackability and high utility for their purpose. Corresponding boxes are either made of wooden slats or of other materials such as plastic. Through the spaces between these slats or the opening of the box upwards a sufficient supply of air for the stored fruit is ensured. Many people who harvest their own fruit use such boxes for storage in the basement, in food chambers and other cool places. But also suitable for the storage of larger quantities of purchased fruit are appropriate boxes.

Sustainable storage of fruit

Fruits such as apples can be kept for a long time if properly stored. If you keep the fruits harvested in the summer correctly, you can keep them in this way until winter time. Square shaped boxes allow the harvest to be stacked well in cellars. Fruit crates thus have the advantage that the harvest can be sorted in an orderly manner, as can be stored in a small amount of space in the cellar. The boxes can be stacked on top of each other. This ensures order and a good overview in the basement. The boxes are easy to use over several years. As long as they are not overcrowded by too heavy a load, they remain stable as a repository and can not be used only in a single year.

Various models of fruit boxes

There are fruit boxes in various designs. Inexpensive and rustic in appearance here are fruit boxes made of wood. Similar to wine boxes, they make a particularly rural and sustainable impression. Corresponding boxes are not expensive to manufacture and yet stable. If you want to fill the boxes with more weight, or when you are working with your bare hands and you do not want to take wooden spoons, you can resort to a plastic model. Plastic fruit crates are extremely stable and can also be loaded with a harvest, which loads the crate with more weight. When clearing the fruit crates on the other hand, care should be taken that they are only filled to the point that they can easily be rearranged and unloaded. The principle of distributing load on different boxes relieves the back. But this relief is only successful if the individual boxes are not overloaded. Correspondingly, fruit crates serve to easily lift the fruit. So it is not only important to buy the box in as large a version as possible and pack it as fully as possible.

Who wants to procure such a storage area in his basement, the shelf and the boxes should match as well as possible. On the one hand, this concerns the color selection of the elements. On the other hand, the shelf should be measured and the boxes should be selected so that the space in the open shelf can be filled as well as possible by the supplemented boxes. It should be considered both the height and the width of the individual shelf elements. If you are well prepared, you can get a usable stowage room with a shelf and fruit crates for comparatively little money.
